Viscious Cycle
I used to suffer greatly from depression. At it's root it comes from intense self-focus (usually negative) and self-critique. I would go so far as to say at one point I "hated" myself. I find that I start to fall into this zone when I start thinking "me, me, me" thoughts (critical ones...not 'I am so wonderful' ones). Something that changes my mind and mood immediately is forcing myself to focus and do good or helpful things for others, and take my focus off myself.Try this: Sit and make a list of things you could do for friends and loved ones that, if you actually did them, would totally make their day! Then, pick one off the list every day and try to do it for them. Initially, make it simple things that can be done fairly quick in order to get quick returns. As you start to get sold on this, turn your attention to more complex tasks you can surprise loved ones with. Just try it...okay?
